Gravitational pull from from wind turbine towers

This site is sorta like the show "America's Most Wanted" because it keeps a spotlight on criminal dirtbags.

Now to the story..........A number of studies have been conducted on the subject of wind turbine blade or blade fragment throw.

Blade or Blade Fragment Throw.........

Blade throw—the loss of a blade due to hub failure—is an uncommon occurrence in wind energy projects, but blade or rotor failure can occur due to extremely high winds, excess rotor speed or from…

BIRD ALERT: Application of Atlantic Wind LLC for a Certificate of Environmental Compatibility

Ex-Gov of Maine John Baldacci became vice chairman of Avangrid, whicich owns Atlantic Wind LLC, in December 2015 and it was never reported by the Maine media. The ex-Gov and creator of Maine's heinous expedited wind law becomes vice chair of the nation's 2nd largest wind company and the media refuse to report this.

Sweden: Tesla Car Batteries Not Remotely Green

The car batteries used in a Tesla generate as much CO2 as driving a gasoline-powered car for eight years. And that’s before they even come off the production line. This news, from a study by the Swedish Environmental Research Institute, will no doubt delight all those U.S. taxpayers who have been forking out billions of dollars to prop up Tesla’s share price having been assured by their government that subsidizing overpriced electric cars represents a vital step towards “combatting climate…

Maine Audubon hires longtime L.L. Bean executive as new director

I wonder if the members of Audubon really know the depth Audubon is into the Wind Industry's pockets.

With the way Andy Beahm describes his absolute wonder and appreciation of the beautiful Maine Wilderness and what it has meant to the way he was brought up and the the way he continues to see it, it is perplexing how he can throw his entire being into an organization like Maine Audubon that has sold its soul to destroying the environment. By accepting huge grants from the wind…

New feature at MasterResource will periodically review important wind-related news

Editor Note: A new feature at MasterResource will periodically review important wind-related news in the US and around the world. For proponents of fuel-neutral, let-the-market-decide energy policy, as well as those opposing industrial wind turbines for environmental reasons, the news is increasingly positive. It should be highlighted and shared to motivate grassroots energy activists. MasterResource is indebted to Lisa Linowes for authoring this new series.…

Powerful Interests Shaping Fate of Maine's Solar Industry

If this passes, it will be a nail in the coffin of Maine Solar Interests. Certainly Gov LePage will do the right thing and veto it if it does not go the way it should, and they would probably be hard pressed to over ride the veto.

Quite simply, the home solar business counts on their customers being able to sell the extra power back to the grid. While this seems noble, in actually it hurts the power producers, uses their transmission lines and stations without paying for them, and we…

This Case Could Upend America’s $29 Billion Solar Industry

Another swamp dweller may just be the one to finally expose the "renewable" industry. Think about the big solar companies like Solyndra, a personal friend and confederate of the "Community Organizer in Chief", who received a huge payoff and promptly declared bankruptcy, pocketing the payoff. 

Solar panels have been falling in price because most are produced overseas. An American producer, Suniva, has been making panels and because they are not getting government money anymore, they…

Baumol was worried, however, by a very different sort of entrepreneur: the “unproductive” ones, who exploit special relationships with the government to construct regulatory moats, secure public spending for their own benefit, or bend specific rules to their will, in the process stifling competition to create…

BDN - Saco doesn’t like its broken wind turbine and wants it gone

Since 2008, a 100-foot wind turbine has stood tall on York Hill, greeting visitors as they cross over the Saco River to the city. Now, less than 10 years later, the city is planning to remove the structure that has never lived up to the city’s expectations.…

Is Angus King & Yale's Record Hill Wind Project Living up to the Promises it Used to get $102 million Loan Guarantee from U.S. DOE?

A concerned Maine resident and U.S. citizen and taxpayer has just provided the following bit of analysis:

From September, 2016:

Record Hill Wind missed the filing deadline again with FERC for 2Q2016 (it was 8/31). I have to believe that they are in serious financial trouble. The ISO-NE Average Wholesale Energy rate for 2Q2016 was $23.39 MWH. In 2013 it was $40.74 MWH and in 2014 it was $38.18 MWH. Kibby reported an average rate for 2Q2016 of $20.42 and Stetson 1…

Saco looking to get rid of wind turbine

The wind turbine has never come close to generating amount of energy promised, and Entegrity Wind went bankrupt in 2009.

The wind turbine is in need of repair and was shut down last year due to safety concerns, said City Administrator Kevin Sutherland.

The city’s Energy Committee and city staff have recommended getting rid of the wind turbine, and putting it out to bid to see if someone will purchase it for scrap material.

Howard Carter, chairman of the city’s Energy…

Maine Center For Public Interest Reporting – Three Part Series: A CRITICAL LOOK AT MAINE’S WIND ACT

******** IF LINKS BELOW DON'T WORK, GOOGLE THEM*********

(excerpts) From Part 1 – On Maine’s Wind Law “Once the committee passed the wind energy bill on to the full House and Senate, lawmakers there didn’t even debate it. They passed it unanimously and with no discussion. House Majority Leader Hannah Pingree, a Democrat from North Haven, says legislators probably didn’t know how many turbines would be constructed in Maine if the law’s goals were met." . – Maine Center for Public Interest Reporting, August 2010 https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-power-bandwagon-hits-bumps-in-the-road-3/From Part 2 – On Wind and Oil Yet using wind energy doesn’t lower dependence on imported foreign oil. That’s because the majority of imported oil in Maine is used for heating and transportation. And switching our dependence from foreign oil to Maine-produced electricity isn’t likely to happen very soon, says Bartlett. “Right now, people can’t switch to electric cars and heating – if they did, we’d be in trouble.” So was one of the fundamental premises of the task force false, or at least misleading?" https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-swept-task-force-set-the-rules/From Part 3 – On Wind-Required New Transmission Lines Finally, the building of enormous, high-voltage transmission lines that the regional electricity system operator says are required to move substantial amounts of wind power to markets south of Maine was never even discussed by the task force – an omission that Mills said will come to haunt the state.“If you try to put 2,500 or 3,000 megawatts in northern or eastern Maine – oh, my god, try to build the transmission!” said Mills. “It’s not just the towers, it’s the lines – that’s when I begin to think that the goal is a little farfetched.” https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/flaws-in-bill-like-skating-with-dull-skates/
